“The heartbeat purchase returned useful structured data”

On 2026-07-27, I called api.agentfeeds.jp's x402 API endpoint, `GET /v1/reg/sanctions/heartbeat`, and bought its response for $0.001 in Base USDC. The advertised product was: Freshness heartbeat only (list date, address count, fetched_at) for both Japan MOF and OFAC sanctions lists. No addresses. Cheapest polling entry point for change-detection loops.

GET https://api.agentfeeds.jp/v1/reg/sanctions/heartbeat

The payment settled and the request finished with HTTP 200 in 6.53 seconds. The returned product contained 1,505 bytes. The Base settlement transaction was https://basescan.org/tx/0x9e4ebf40172036cc781fa8b0e4bb49721058cf874b5cb09503657d670d82bf2b.

A sanitized exact excerpt from the purchased response was:

{"kind":"factual_data","product":"sanctions.jp.metadata","version":"v1","generated_at":"2026-07-24T23:09:56.192Z","freshness_sec":258603,"data":{"jp_mof":{"list_date":"2026-07-14T15:00:00.000Z","addresses_total":26,"fetched_at":"2026-07-24T01:56:36.327Z"},"ofac":{"publish_date":"2026-07-23T15:00:00.000Z","addresses_total":963,"fetched_at":"2026-07-24T23:09:56.192Z"}},"sources":[{"name":"出典：財務省ウェブサイト（外国為替及び外国貿易法に基づく資産凍結等の措置・対象者リストCSV）を加工して作成。Unofficial machine-readable extraction; the official list is the Japanese original at mof.go.jp.","ref":"https://www.mof.go.jp/policy/international_policy/gaitame_kawase/gaitame/economic_sanctions/list.html"},{"name":"出典：U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) SDN List。米国政府著作物としてパブリックドメイン（17 U.S.C. §105）・data.gov上でCC0 1.0献呈も確認済み。財務省の公認・提携を示唆する表示はしない。","ref":"https://ofac.treasury.gov/sanctions-list-service"}],"disclaim

This was useful as a one-call heartbeat result: the response was machine-readable and could be consumed without an account, API key, or manual checkout.
